Genitalia. ( Fig. 38 View FIGURE 38 ). Valvifers VIII longer than wide, lateral angles broadly convex and posteriorly projected relative to the sutural angles, posterior margins weakly sinuous ( Fig. 38 View FIGURE 38 , A, vfVIII); laterotergites VIII wider than long ( Fig. 38 View FIGURE 38 , A, laVIII); laterotergites IX with lateral margins straight, mesial margins convex, and rounded apices slightly surpassing mediotergite VIII ( Fig. 38 View FIGURE 38 , A, laIX). Thickening of the vaginal intima subrectangular; ring sclerites elliptical in ventral view, 2.5 times wider than the thickening of the vaginal intima ( Fig. 38 View FIGURE 38 , B); proximal portion of ductus receptaculi coiled and longer than the vesicular area ( Fig. 38 View FIGURE 38 , B, drp); median duct of vesicular area uniformly wide through its length; distal portion of ductus receptaculi uniformly widened towards the pars intermedialis, more than 2.5 times longer than pars intermedialis and capsula seminalis taken together ( Fig. 38 View FIGURE 38 , B, drd); pars intermedialis twice longer than capsula seminalis, this with three digitiform projections ( Fig. 38 View FIGURE 38 , B, pi, cs).

Comments. Similar to Janeirona vianai , differing from it by the maximum head width across the mandibular plates subequal to half the head width across the eyes, labium attaining the urosternite III, and metasternum flat. Differs from all species in the genus by the posterior margins of the eyes forming an angle of 45º with the longitudinal body axis.

Distribution: Brazil (Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Santa Catarina).
